The Weekend ReTREAT: Banana Mug Cake

2.5.16

What’s great about Friday’s? Well, among many things, you can reflect on the past week, and what you’ve learned. Since last Friday I’ve learned, tequila and bourbon make for a great evening, but a terrible morning, that NYC weather cannot make up it’s mind (as it snows once again out the window), that one of the recipes I created for next week needs a complete overhaul, and that this banana mug cake is the best breakfast option so far out of mug cakes. I’ve learned a lot.

This mug cake is so tasty, but the ingredients quickly pile up so get a big mug ready.  Or mix in a small bowl and dump into a mug.

Discovering the chocolate chips throughout as you enjoy is the best part. Have a great Superbowl Weekend!!!
